System Overview System Overview Integrus is a system for wireless distribution of audio signals via infrared radiation. It can be used in a simultaneous interpretation system for international conferences where multiple languages are used. To enable all participants to understand the discussion, interpreters simultaneously translate the speaker's language as required.
Page 10
The audio input and interpreter’s module can be mounted in the transmitter housing to connect the transmitter to a wide range of conference systems: – LBB 3422/20 Integrus audio input and interpreters module to connect to analogue discussion and conference systems (such as CCS 900) or to LBB 3222/04 6-channel interpreters desks.
System Overview | en Integrus Transmitters The transmitter is the central element of the Integrus system. It accepts asymmetrical audio sources from a maximum of 32 external channels (dependent on the transmitter type) and can be used with the DCN Next Generation conference system. It can also be used with analogue discussion and interpretation systems (e.g.

4.1.1 IR radiation The Integrus system is based on transmission by modulated infrared radiation. Infrared radiation forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is composed of visible light, radio waves and other types of radiation. It has a wavelength just above that of visible light. Like visible light, it is reflected from hard surfaces, yet passes through translucent materials such as glass.
4.1.2 Signal Processing The Integrus system uses high frequency carrier signals (typically 2-8 MHz) to prevent interference problems with modern light sources (see section The footprint of the radiator, page 23). The digital audio processing guarantees a constant high audio quality.
4.1.4 Carriers and channels The Integrus system can transmit up to 8 different carrier signals (depending on the transmitter type). Each carrier can contain up to 4 different audio channels. The maximum number of channels per carrier is dependent on the selected quality modes. Stereo signals use twice as much bandwidth as a mono signals;...
The total radiation energy of a radiator is distributed over the transmitted carriers. When more carriers are used, the coverage area gets proportionally smaller. The receiver requires a strength of the IR signal of 4 mW/m per carrier to work Bosch Security Systems B.V. Operation manual 2013.11 | V1.4 |...
Page 24
As shown, the size and position of the footprint depends on the mounting height and angle of the radiator. 2013.11 | V1.4 | Operation manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
4.2.3 Ambient lighting The Integrus system is practically immune for the effect of ambient lighting. Fluorescent lamps (with or without electronic ballast or dimming facility), such as TL lamps or energy saving lamps give no problems with the Integrus system. Also sunlight and artificial lighting with Bosch Security Systems B.V.
| Planning Language Distribution System incandescent or halogen lamps up to 1000 lux give no problems with the Integrus system. When high levels of artificial lighting with incandescent or halogen lamps, such as spotlights or stage lighting are applied, you should directly point a radiator at the receivers in order to ensure reliable transmission.

If the path of the infrared signals is partially blocked, e.g. under balconies, you should cover the 'shaded' area with an additional radiator (see the next figure). Figure 4.16: Radiator for covering seats beneath a balcony 2013.11 | V1.4 | Operation manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
The lower the carrier frequency, the less susceptible the receiver is for differences in signal delays. The signal delays can be compensated by using the delay compensation switches on the radiators (see section Determine the radiator delay switch positions, page 60). Bosch Security Systems B.V.
